G D
Purple clouds turn scarlet in the set-ting sun
G
Where sage brush turns to live oak and the white tail run.
C G
The air is cool as music when the day is done
D C G
And God paints the sky above Pacheco
[Chorus]
C G
Driving all day up the San Joaquin
Bm C G
Turn west again up through Pacheco
[Verse 2]
G D
Through the blue hills back of Santa Cruz we’re rolling fine
G
Where red-tail hawks go circling like the ways of time
C G
And lovers and friends will meet again ‘round red Sonoma wine
D
When God calls the night above Pacheco
[Chorus]
C G
Driving all day up the San Joaquin
Bm C G
Turn west again up through Pacheco
THE DD TAIL HAWK
George Schroder
Am G Am
the redtail hawk writes songs across the sky
Am G Am
there's music in the waters flowing by
Am G Am
and you can hear a song each time the wind sighs
G G Am
in the golden rolling hills of california
G G Am
in the golden rolling hills of california
Am G Am
it's been so long, love, since you said goodbye
Am G Am
my cabin's been as lonesome as a cry
Am G Am
but there's comfort in clouds drifting by
G G Am
in the golden rolling hills of california
G G Am
in the golden rolling hills of california
Am G Am
a neighbor came today to lend a hand
Am G Am
he saw i'd fixed the road as best i can
Am G Am
but there's just some things that need a man's hand
G G Am
in the golden rolling hills of california
G G Am
in the golden rolling hills of california
Am G Am
the redtail hawk writes songs across the sky
Am G Am
there's music in the waters flowing by
Am G Am
and you can hear a song each time the wind sighs
G G Am
in the golden rolling hills of california
G G Am
in the golden rolling hills of california
